Tuesday Tunes: Lance, Madonna, Kylie, Colbie, and The Plain White T’s

I’m trying not to abandon this side of my blog so I’ve been trying to think of ways to revamp some of my “regular” posts. Tuesday Tunes is back! Instead of sharing my class playlists (after awhile they start sounding the same), I’ll just periodically post some of my current favorite songs, playlists, videos, etc. If there’s a theme, you bet I’m going to share that too!

Here are some of my favorites as of late:

LANCE IS BACK! You go, Lance Bass. Here’s to having more than a bass solo.

This song is not old, nor do I know if it was ever released. But when i randomly decided to watch Madonna’s MDNA World Tour on Amazon Prime (or was it Netflix Instant?), I loved everything about her concert. The songs. The dancing. The theatrics. I’d love to see Madge in concert one day. Here’s one of my favorites, mostly because it makes a great pole dancing song!

Skip to 4:40 for the beginning of the song.

“Timebomb” is another old but “new to me” song and I love how much fun it is to dance too. You really can’t ever go wrong when it comes to Kylie Minogue.

Now you’ll be singing “Whoop! D’ya wanna, wanna? Whoop! I wanna, wanna.” all the time like I do.

Here’s a song I’m not too late to. Colbie gives us a slightly dancier song with “Hold On.” This is great for a stretch sequence, starting out your morning, or a drive. Colbie has such an amazing voice, sounds even more amazing live, and writes such great songs.

Katy Perry is one of those artists that I greatly disliked when she first arrived on the scene. She was trying too hard to stand out with songs like “I Kissed a Girl” and with the whole cupcake boobs (bringing a new meaning to “sugar tits”) for the “California Gurls” video. But you know what? Her songs are so freaking addicting! I feel like she’s finally found her groove so thank goodness the awkward sexy phase is over. I actually really want to see her in concert now. “Dark Horse” is also a great pole dance song and the pace is great for lifting weights, abs, or stretching.

In case you didn’t know, “Rhythm of Love” is one of my all time favorite songs to listen to when I’m crushing on someone or just in a lovey mood. I already know it’s going to be a part of my wedding so it should come to no surprise that I fell in love with The Plain White T’s “The Giving Tree.” The song is actually the opposite of being crazy in love, but it has such a nice tune that I can’t help but sing along, even if it’s about your girlfriend leaving you for someone else.

And there you have it! What do you think of my current favorite songs? Have any to share with me? I love discovering new music.
